Gwern Engan Concentric Enclosed Hut Circle is a prehistoric domestic settlement located in Conwy, Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference CN299. The site consists of a hut circle featuring concentric earthwork enclosures, a form typical of Iron Age settlement patterns in Wales, though occupation may have extended across earlier prehistoric periods. The concentric circular arrangement of banks and ditches surrounding the domestic structure reflects settlement practices common to upland and marginal areas of North Wales during the later prehistoric period. The monument remains an important archaeological record of domestic organisation and settlement hierarchy in prehistoric Wales, preserving evidence of how individual households were spatially organised within defended or bounded domestic spaces.
